El novio

¡Eres bella, amada mía!
¡Eres sumamente bella!
Son tus ojos dos palomas
que se asoman tras el velo.
Son tus negros cabellos
cabritos que juguetean
en los montes de Galaad.
Son blancos tus dientes,
como ovejas recién bañadas
listas para la trasquila.
Son rojos tus labios
cual cinta escarlata,
y melodiosas tus palabras.
Tus mejillas, tras el velo,
son rojas como manzanas.
Tu cuello me recuerda
a la torre de David,
hecha de piedras labradas
y adornada con mil escudos
de valientes guerreros.
Tus pechos son dos gacelas,
¡son dos gacelas
que pastan entre las rosas!
Mientras sopla todavía
la brisa de la tarde,
y las sombras van cayendo,
subiré a la colina
de las suaves fragancias.

¡Qué bella eres, amada mía!
¡Todo en ti es perfecto!
¡Vamos, novia mía,
baja del Líbano conmigo!
Baja de las cumbres de los montes,
baja de las cuevas de los leones,
de los montes de los leopardos.

Amada mía,
desde que me miraste
mi corazón te pertenece.
Es tuyo desde que lo envolviste
entre los hilos de tu collar.
10 ¡Qué dulces son tus caricias,
amada mía!
¡Son más dulces que el vino!
¡Más fragantes tus perfumes
que todas las especias!
11 Son tus labios un panal,
amada mía;
de tu lengua brotan leche y miel.
Hay en tus vestidos
la dulce fragancia
de los bosques del Líbano.

12 Tú eres un jardín cerrado,
amada mía;
eres un jardín cerrado,
¡eres sellado manantial!
13 El paraíso de tus pechos
es un huerto de manzanos.
Hay en él nardos y azahares,
14 los más variados aromas,
y las más finas especias.
15 Eres la fuente de los jardines,
¡el manantial de agua viva
que baja del monte Líbano!

La novia

16 ¡Despierta, viento del norte!
¡Ven acá, viento del sur!
¡Soplen sobre mi jardín
y esparzan su fragancia!
¡Ven a tu jardín, amado mío,
y prueba sus deliciosos frutos!

男子:

我的爱人啊,你真是美极了!
面纱掩映着那温柔如鸽的双眸,
你的秀发就好像跃下基列山冈的山羊群。
你的牙齿如同新剪了毛的母羊,
刚从水里洗净上来,成双成对,
一颗也没有脱落。
你的唇好像朱红丝带,
你的口娇美,
你面纱下的双颊如两瓣石榴。
你的颈项秀丽,宛若装饰着上千英雄盾牌的大卫楼塔。
你的胸脯好比一对在百合花间吃草的孪生小鹿。
我要登上没药山和乳香冈,
直到晚风吹起、日影消逝。
我的爱人啊,
你美丽动人,毫无瑕疵。
我的新娘啊,
跟我一起离开黎巴嫩,
离开黎巴嫩吧!
离开那狮豹出没的亚玛拿山顶、示尼珥山和黑门高峰吧!
我的妹妹,我的新娘啊,
你夺去了我的心。
你的秋波一转,
你项链上的明珠一闪,
都令我倾倒。
10 我的妹妹,我的新娘啊,
你的爱比美酒更香甜。
你身上洋溢的芬芳远胜过一切香料。
11 我的新娘,你的嘴唇甘甜如蜜,
你的舌头底下藏着奶与蜜。
你的衣服散发的幽香,
就像黎巴嫩山芬芳怡人的气息。
12 我的妹妹,我的新娘,
你是紧锁的园子,
封闭的井,隐藏的泉源。
13 你好像一个美丽的果园,
结满了石榴和各种上好的果子,
也有凤仙花、哪哒树、
14 哪哒和番红花、菖蒲和肉桂、
没药和沉香,
以及一切上好的香料。
15 你是园中的甘泉,是活水的井,
是从黎巴嫩流下来的溪水。

女子:

16 北风啊,兴起吧!
南风啊,吹来吧!
吹向我的园子,
使它的清香四溢。
愿我的良人走进自己的园中,
享受其中的珍果。

Man

How beautiful you are, my darling.
How very beautiful!
Behind your veil,
your eyes are doves.(A)
Your hair is like a flock of goats
streaming down Mount Gilead.(B)
Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep
coming up from washing,
each one bearing twins,
and none has lost its young.[a](C)
Your lips are like a scarlet cord,(D)
and your mouth[b] is lovely.
Behind your veil,
your brow[c] is like a slice of pomegranate.(E)
Your neck is like the tower of David,(F)
constructed in layers.
A thousand shields are hung on it—
all of them shields of warriors.
Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle,(G) that feed among the lilies.
Until the day breaks[d]
and the shadows flee,(H)
I will make my way to the mountain of myrrh
and the hill of frankincense.(I)
You are absolutely beautiful,(J) my darling;
there is no imperfection in you.

Come with me from Lebanon,[e](K) my bride;(L)
come with me from Lebanon!
Descend from the peak of Amana,
from the summit of Senir and Hermon,(M)
from the dens of the lions,
from the mountains of the leopards.
You have captured my heart,(N) my sister,(O) my bride.
You have captured my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How delightful your caresses are, my sister, my bride.
Your caresses are much better than wine,(P)
and the fragrance of your perfume than any balsam.
11 Your lips drip sweetness like the honeycomb, my bride.(Q)
Honey and milk(R) are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

12 My sister, my bride, you are a locked garden—
a locked garden[f] and a sealed spring.(S)
13 Your branches are a paradise[g] of pomegranates
with choicest fruits;(T)
henna with nard,
14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,(U)
with all the trees of frankincense,(V)
myrrh and aloes,(W)
with all the best spices.
15 You are a garden spring,
a well of flowing water(X)
streaming from Lebanon.

Woman

16 Awaken,(Y) north wind;
come, south wind.
Blow on my garden,
and spread the fragrance of its spices.
Let my love come to his garden
and eat its choicest fruits.(Z)

Let my beloved(AO) come into his garden
